Leah didn't know what to do with herself. She was mad at Dave, but she wasn't surprised by his behavior. She couldn't even blame him for his behavior. She had been in her own world, caught in the middle of what she could have (Dave) and Ethan her one true love. She took out a pen and started writing.
My dearest Ethan,
I keep thinking about everything, why if we love each other why are we being forced apart? Ethan, I need an answer. I can't keep doing this to myself. I need you. I need you with me. I need to know if we have a future together. I want my future, to be with you. I know you love me, I love you too.
-Leah
Leah was left in the dark for weeks. She heard not one word from Ethan. Charity wrote her frequently, but she always left out Ethan.
One night, Leah sat on her bed, and looked at pictures of her and Ethan a summer ago. The memories came back to her, and she smiled thinking about it.
"Leah get down here," Leah's mom shouted from downstairs.
"Coming!" Leah said and sighed and walked down the stairs. She saw her mom standing there and was smiling. This is odd, Leah thought to herself and said what. Her mom pointed and Leah looked to see Ethan. Her Ethan, standing in the doorway.
" Ethan!" Leah cried and she couldn't help herself she ran up to him and hugged him. They embraced, " My Leah," he paused. " I'm here to stay, I'm not going back,"
" But why?" she asked and looked up at him wiping a tear from her eye.
" Well, there's this certain girl I want to be with," he said and grinned.
" Oh is there?" Leah said and laughed.
" Yeah, I'll explain everything later," he said and smiled at Leah.
Ethan is here to stay, Leah thought to herself and looked up at him.
" Wow," she said and smiled.
" I love you Leah, I always have, and I always will," Ethan stated.
" I love you too"
